> As a side effect on my current work I recognized a warning that was there before:
> Essentially it boils down to the list<> case in these definitions taken from https://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl which causes ambiguities.
> {code}
> [28] MapType         ::=  'map' CppType? '<' FieldType ',' FieldType '>'
> [29] SetType         ::=  'set' CppType? '<' FieldType '>'
> [30] ListType        ::=  'list' '<' FieldType '>' CppType?
> {code}
> I wonder why we need it this way at all. Wouldn't it be better if list<> set<> and map<> would expect the same syntax?
